This Little Pig Went to Market (And Got Herself a Makeover!)

Amazingly, when I brought up the subject of maybe painting the piggy to my daughter, she agreed. Her reasoning was, "Because pigs aren't white and red striped with blue and stars."


So, here she is:She is a little brighter (sheesh) and a little more salmon in color than this picture shows, but I would say that this is a definite improvement. Would you agree?

I am not really sure that I am done with her yet. I think that I will live with her for a while before I decide, though.

Ugly Pig

I'm sitting here staring at this thing wondering, "Why in the world did my MIL have to get this piece of hideousness for my daughter?" I had hoped it would be one of those things that I could tuck away and she'd forget about it, then I could donate it to charity or something. But, oh no, every time she finds a coin (or raids our pockets...), into the pig it goes. And, let me tell you, this gal has some lofty goals for this money: it's going to buy our new house one day!! So, I have to pretty this sow up with some paint or decoupage or something. I was thinking of a peachy pink, but I don't know... Any ideas??
